so and so important as to make it a notably lopsided matter In the past what appeared to be a strong talking point for authoritarian were thinking particularly of Germany under the Kaiser then under Hitler faded out in the long pull A ruler cloaked with unlim ited power as Hitler was and as Khrushchev can plan a war and launch it at the time of his own choosing That isnt true of a Democracy No true De mocracy could launch an ag gressive war It must wait for somebody else to start things Every now and then youll hear somebody advocate what is euphemistically referred to UN esteps Katanga

slave people between gov ernments based on the consent of the governed and govern ments under which people are subjects rather than citizens There are many others Not long ago a friend of mine dealt with another phase of this subject in a scholarly presen tation on the campus of Stan ford University where for many years he was the distinguished MOSCOW young Russians shook their fists at the black limousine carrying Amer ican U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers family from a confer ence with his Soviet defense attorney Monday Western newsmen outside the office of the lawyer saw one of the youths kick the tires of the car HOWEVER THE rest of the crowd of about 300 Russians clustered at the scene seemed only curious to see the family of American who will stand trial Wednesday on espionage charges It was the first disclosure to the Russian public that the Powers family was in Moscow The presence of the pilots wife Barbara 25 and his parents Mr and Mrs Oliver Powers was not reported in the Soviet
